This is our stop, Commander. I’ll do my best to help the colonists find their temporary home here. Make sure to report to the outpost’s manager for a reward – your efforts were nothing short of heroic.

Welcome to my outpost, Commander. I hear you helped these colonists escape a Borg invasion?

We fear this is correct. We received distress signals related to the Borg’s presence in two separate systems, both of which ended in confrontation. Everything points to a full-scale invasion.

Your group isn’t the first one to flee from the Borg. We have at least five more confirmed incursions – as if we haven’t just dealt with thousands of other crises. The Borg never change.

The Collective utilizes transwarp conduits, not spatial anomalies. Actually, after analyzing our interaction with Borg forces, I found some discrepancies with their usual markers.

These Borg vessels were less adapted to our usual tactics. Their tactics failed more. Utilized past strategies. They are different.

This information must reach Starfleet immediately – if we’re facing a new, alternate version of the Borg, that would render all our protocols obsolete.

I’ll write a report to the Council, but we must be ahead of the game. I can direct you to my friend in the Emergency Research Group – they are tackling this new threat, and your input will be invaluable.

I’m recalling as many vessels as possible, leaving but two battleships between us and the anomaly. If you take as many people as your ship can accommodate, we might just finish the evacuation in one go.

The analysis is inconclusive. Despite our assumption, the test piece is 99.95% identical to the data you have provided. If the new Borg threat differs from the old, it is in how they operate.

Dialogue
The 0.05% differential is in the Hawking radiation levels and quantum particle balance, which can be attributed to their method of travel: spatial anomalies.

A small differential, but it’s new nonetheless. A blip that might turn supernova.

Indeed. With the same idea, I ran the sample’s quantum particle tuning through a frequency converter to locate similar patterns within the subspace relay network. It returned results.

Wait, you have a way to locate new invasions? Can we predict where the Borg are advancing into our territories?

Yes. It does not stop them, but at least we can detect the transgressions immediately. There is, however, one set of coordinates that makes little sense…

Commander, glad to see you safe! I was warned about your arrival, and I do hope that your insight will help us stop those drones from terrorizing our colonies. So, what did you find out?

It is our pleasure to assist you, Doctor. We are aware of seven confirmed Borg incursions in Federation territories, but they differ considerably from all the previous ones we are aware of.

I have prepared a comparison list based on our observations. Sending it to your computer.

Dr Arahara Halin
Dialogue
I’ll take a look at it right away, but that might not be enough. Perhaps the Borg are retrying older tactics to test whether or not we’ve forgotten them? I do, however, have an idea for eliminating this option.

Did you happen to store any pieces of the destroyed Borg vessels? Anything would do – a fragment of the hull, materials from their cargo, even regular scrap.

Thank you – it’s my life’s work! We don’t have the capacity for such research right now, so, perhaps you could run it aboard your ship? I’ll send you the instructions.
